Came to Berlin for six nights, was ok for two then totally fecked, fullon flu and gastro/food poisoning symptoms. Also think I've got an abscess starting in a back tooth. Leave tomorrow, tried to book a flight home today but nothing available. No one to talk to/moan at here and the wireless connection in my hotel doesn't work on my floor, same in NYC 2/3 weeks ago, so I can't even email people to demand sympathy. Have just spent an hour in the internet cafe down the road and it's the total of the amount of time I've spent out of my room over the last three days combined

I know some of you will be able to knock my 'ordeal' into a cocked hat with your own experiences, go on, cheer me up

two paracetamol, two ibuprofen, 2 cocodamol, and an irish coffee on the hour in German. I'd ask the hotel staff but I spilled honey over the carpet in my room so they probably want me to die in my room and charge the honeydamamge to my cc

My ladyfriend at home is from Taiwan and last night I considered the possibility of her giving me avian flu so she could get my cds. I then dreamt that I had avian flu and slowly died in the hotel room, facking great stuff :p

The only thing which has kept me going is the book Innocent When You Dream, a collection of Tom Waits interviews. It is really great stuff, in NY I read a book Gimme Danger, The Story Of Iggy Pop by Joe Ambrose and This Must Be The Place, The Story Of Talking Heads In The 20th Century by David Bowman. All three of these books are great and a welcome relief from the truly shit Pixies/Frank Black book I read prior to these
